Artist statement: Bloom is the last piece made in the body of work I am currently involved in, which is comprised of distorting similar shapes. This work represents how one can become a part of something, yet hold on to their individuality because of different backgrounds or experiences. The shape of Bloom is somewhat architectural and could easily fit into a cityscape, which is why I chose to construct this sculpture out of steel. The way the two structures of this piece combined together and seem to flare out of its base while twisting around each other gives the piece a blooming effect. While constructing Bloom, and the other pieces in this series, I left one side open so that it could be filled with pieces of scrap metal used by others. Because I used scrap metal not all the marks made on this work were from the artist but also from others. This means those who had worked the steel also contributed by unintentionally dictating some of the shapes in this work. Bloom, with its simplistic shape made up of elegantly distorted triangles twisting around each other with a variation of textures, seems to hold up well as a conclusion to telling the story of this body of work.
